IPC CFX FAQ
IPC-CFX Engineering Support Services provide an added resource to ensure successful IPC-CFX implementations.
IPC-2591, Connected Factory Exchange, is the open industry standard that supports IPC-CFX. IPC-2591 establishes the requirements for the omnidirectional exchange of information between manufacturing processes and associated host systems for assembly manufacturing. The standard applies to communication between all executable processes in the manufacture of printed board assemblies – automated, semiautomated and manual – and is applicable to related mechanical assembly and transactional processes.
IPC-CFX is an industry-developed open international standard forming the foundation/backbone of Factory of the Future applications. IPC-CFX is a plug-and-play solution that simplifies and standardizes machine-to-machine communication while also facilitating machine-to-business and business-to-machine applications.
